If you are running into the problem Peter mentions below, it can be
overcome by changing to the parent directory and supplying the directory
name to tar.
By default, tar will recursively grab all the files in the supplied
directory name and descend through the directory tree.

Of course, this will grab other files besides *.pdf, if they exist in
this directory. You may wish to read the manual regarding including and
excluding files to see what approach is easiest to implement in your
scenario:

*.pdf", and when your shell expands the "*.pdf" this may well exceed the
maximum command line length allowed by you operating system.
